Yes it is a good name for a girl... if you want her to hate you.

Thumbelina sounds cute....as a cats name !
Remind your friend that her daughter's name will be shortened to "Thumb" at school - and the endless teasing that will create will become your friends problem -
That'll make her sorry for inflicting the name on her poor innocent
daughter.
(and what if this little girl grows up to be really tall / fat - Thumbelina wont be so fitting then !!

Thubelina would work just fine with a single syllable last name like Smith or Jones, but if the last name will be something like Robertson or Schovelovich, then you'd need to balance that with a polysyllabic middle name like Hepzibah, or you can always go ethnic with a name like Shaquana. If you're still undecided, why choose at all, pick em all...Thumbelina Hepziba Shaquana McLoughlin. Cool!

That's a terrible name for a kid. Great fairy tale, but terrible kid name.
I once heard that a good rule of thumb is to picture your kid's name announced at their Presidential Inauguration. If the name would make a stupid President's name, then you should probably think of another one. President Thumbelina [Yourlastname]? Yeah, not so great.

Egad! What is that woman smoking? Yes, she's mental. There oughta be a law against naming your kid stupid stuff.
A while back, twice during the same mall trip, I heard two kids being yelled at by their mamas who were named Armani and Miata. I'm not making this up! How ghetto is that??? Sheesh!

The child would be forever teased, due to the story of the tiny girl thumbelina...I wouldn't do that to a kid...

I think that when naming a child that it is important to consider that they will have to live with it for a long time and will probably have it picked on at school (especially if different) and shortened throughout their life - 'thumb' is not the nicest name to call a child.

It would be OK if your friends daughter was about 2 inches tall, but if that is not the case, then tell him to re-think maybe just go for the easy option, something like Jazz, Dizzy, Kitty, Tinker Bell, you know something ordinary
